It will finally be possible to enter the front door without taking a cold, cold shower as the gutters will take the water and channel it to the ground.
This section over the garage shows how well the color blends in with the roof. I may have to do something about the flow from the downspout if it starts to erode the driveway, however.
Keeping runoff from the fill behind the retaining wall was a priority. The gutter guys solved this with a couple of simple bends and long runs of downspout.
Our main concern on the west side of the house was to get the water from the dormer to the ground without it dripping on the main roof extending out from the side of the house. As a result we only had gutter installed along the top of the dormer. To get the water down to the ground, the gutter guys did a little magic with the downspout as then “bent” it around the lower roof as seen here:
Where the two roofs meet (main house and garage ell) water could really come gushing down the valleys. The gutter guys installed these shields to ensure the water goes into the gutters and not beyond. I hope they can stand up to the snow.
They did a real nice job of tucking the downspouts in behind the log ends and making them look like trim work.
